Feargal Sharkey and Megan Trump join Ava Santina to discuss the scourge of water companies dumping sewage in Britain's rivers. Megan's poetry: https://eastbristolbooks.co.uk/products/my-avon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The poet laureate Simon Armitage challenges himself to write a new poem to capture the spirit of an animal and to see if he can bring it closer to the human world. For a new 10-part series, My Poetry and Other Animals (on BBC Radio 4 at 1.45, from December 23rd), he is guided by his fellow poets as he experiences a series of close encounters – looking into the eye of a tiger, tracking a fox and standing amongst a room full of spiders. Elizabeth Bishop and Feargal Sharkey are Simon Armitage's guides to the world of fish. But the science writer Amorina Kingdom wants everyone to listen more closely to what's happening underwater. In her book, Sing Like Fish, she traces how sounds travel with currents; the songs, clicks and drumming that help sea creatures to survive, and how this musical landscape is being affected by human noise.If humans could finally grasp what animals were communicating to each other, could it enable us to join in the conversation with animals? The behavioural ecologist, Professor Christian Rutz, from the University of St Andrews, is a specialist in the different behaviours of crows. He believes that with recent breakthroughs in AI and data collection, talking with animals might be closer than ever.Producer: Katy Hickman

Feargal Sharkey has galvanised the nation over the scandalous - and criminal - negligence our water companies and their so-called regulators have displayed for years. Our rivers are flooded with sewage on a daily basis and the privatised water companies have been pillaged. On Sunday he's leading a march for clean water in London and he tells the Matts why he is so determined to correct this enormous injustice. It's a brilliant, searing interview. If you're not already furious about this, you will be soon.Subscribe to The New European: https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/2matts/Join The Two Matts LIVE! https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/2mattslive/ Hosted on Acast.

On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, nurses have rejected the government's offer of a 5.5% pay rise. Nick speaks to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. Six water companies overcharged customers between £800m and £1.5bn by “significantly or systematically” underreporting the true scale of their sewage pollution. Environmental campaigner Feargal Sharkey joins live. All of this and more on the Nick Ferrari Whole Show Podcast.

Today, we welcome back Feargal Sharkey, who visited Bubble Trouble last summer and dropped a (water) bomb on our privatized utilities. He's fought the noble fight to expose Thames Water as profiteering polluters. Nine months later we have a massive credit bubble bursting, dumping toxic sewage in both debt laden shell companies and the real shit floating in our rivers and seas, while private equity owners took out £78bn of dividends since privatization kicked in. A warning: this conversation should make everyone angry, whether you draw a drink, go for a wild swim, or just watch your rising water bill - asking how this utility privatization bubble caused so much trouble.

Summer continues on Planet Normal! In this, the second of the three part best of the rocket series, our co-pilots take a look back at some of their most explosive voyages on the rocket of right thinking from the year so far.In January Liam interviewed legendary former frontman of The Undertones, turned water campaigner, Feargal Sharkey.As well as discussing the state of the UK's waterways Liam and Feargal also discussed relations between Ireland and the UK post Brexit, as well as his colourful musical career.Then, in May, just as the general election campaign was getting started Liam also spoke to Labour MP, and women's rights advocate, Rosie Duffield.As an MP who has received abuse from some of her own colleagues for questioning trans self-identification, Rosie explains how she felt about being a member of the Labour Party after such a backlash.Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

Water bills are to rise by an average of 21% over the next five years, the industry regulator Ofwat has ruled.  But with the impact of the cost-of-living, water companies spilling record amounts of sewage into our waters, and controversial bonuses for senior leaders, do we need a complete overhaul of the industry?    On this episode, Niall Paterson hears from our business correspondent Paul Kelso in Henley, on the impact for consumers, providers and our water ways.  Niall also speaks to Stuart Colville, deputy CEO of Water UK, which represents the water companies, asking why they disagree with Ofwat's plans.  Plus, Feargal Sharkey, campaigner and former lead vocalist of The Undertones, joins Niall to share his reaction and the story behind his efforts to protect our rivers and seas. For further background from Sky News, you can read Paul Kelso's further analysis of Ofwat's business plans for Thames Water's survival here.   Producers: Soila Apparicio, Rosie Gillott Editor: Paul Stanworth Promotions producer: David Chipakupaku 

The short but solid trajectory of the Undertones' career reflects the arc of popular British music during the same time. Starting off in Derry Ireland as punks with an ear for melodies in the late 70s and ending up about five years later exploring sophisti-pop is a map of what was in style in the UK. If the band wasn't so good at both genres you might accuse them of selling out, but, in truth, they're just excellent at making catchy songs. The band split up in the early 80s and lead singer Feargal Sharkey went solo before leaving music altogether. We're joined this week by bassist and songwriter Michael Bradley. He went to work for the BBC before retiring and now tours occasionally with the other guys (minus Feargal) even releasing new music. He discusses some of the classic tunes he wrote, his approach to the band now, having John Peel as a fan, and much more. They're honestly one of the greatest ever. www.theundertones.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

It is just so HEART! Et meget vitalt organ, der pumper blod konstant, stærkt og skrøbeligt, og som vel nok er blevet menneskets mest ikoniserede og symbolske del af kroppen (det indre), hvor alle mulige følelser og handlinger tillægges det 'stakkels' hjerte, fiktionen har gjort mere rødt og stiliseret end det kan holde til. Ret beset er det nok hjerne + mave/tarm der rummer alle de menneskelige kompleksiteter & følelser?! Men det nytter ikke noget, for hjertet har fået sin position og det er i den grad slået igennem i litteratur, kunst og ikke mindst musik. Talrige sange har hjerte (og smerte;) som fokus for følelser, og det nye tema i Sejrstimen har bare et lille udsnit med, som står mit hjerte lidt nærmere: The 1975, ABC, The Adventures, Associates, Kate Bush, Classix Nouveaux, Cock Robin, Dua Lipa, Finneas, Freur, Rupert Hine, The Human League, Keane, Cyndi Lauper, Luxuria, Joni Mitchell, Prefab Sprout, Feargal Sharkey, Sia

The raw sewage being pumped into rivers and seas in England has become a seismic election issue. The musician turned environmentalist Feargal Sharkey joins the FT's Lucy Fisher, George Parker and Robert Shrimsley to assess how we got here, while the FT's infrastructure correspondent Gill Plimmer analyses Thames Water's woes. Plus, the team looks at scandals in Westminster and considers how much William Wragg's honeytrap debacle and allegations that Angela Rayner failed to pay the right tax on a former house sale – which she denies – might damage their parties' chances in this election year.Since recording, Greater Manchester Police have launched an investigation into allegations that Angela Rayner potentially broke electoral law by failing to properly disclose her main residence in official documents.Follow Lucy on X: @LOS_Fisher, Robert @robertshrimsley, George @GeorgeWParker, Gill @gillplimmer1, Feargal @Feargal_Sharkey,Want more?

A natural monopoly delivering an essential service, Thames Water was privatised in 1989 with no debt. Now it's on its knees, crushed by more than £15bn of borrowings. Neil and Jonathan talk to Feargal Sharkey about what this says about Mrs Thatcher's most controversial privatisation, whether incentive regulation works, and whether we should just scrap the whole private structure and start again.Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Feargal Sharkey.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.In association with Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast.

Today, we turn our attention to a massive credit bubble that burst and dumped toxic sewage in the form of shell companies and endless debt on public utilities. A scandal is unfolding at Thames Water - London's waterworks that's frankly been drowned in debt by the private equity owners. To twist this up a notch, we're joined by the Northern Irish former punk singer Feargal Sharkey has turned his legendary energy to a cause that's deeply dear to his fly fishing heart - that of England's beleaguered and abused rivers and streams. It's a great reminder of how these financial bubbles impact all our lives, and Feargal's dogged pursuit of justice on behalf of all of us who like to swim, fish or just enjoy the sight of the UKs precious rivers.

Label: A&M 2804Year: 1986Condition: MPrice: $12.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. The former lead singer of the Undertones managed (with some help by Eurythmics producer-wizard David Stewart) to craft one of the most irresistable pop confections of the 1980s with this tune. Unfortunately, its relative obscurity means most people haven't had a chance to fall in love with it. Yet. That's why I'm sticking a snippet of it in the jukebox. :-) The B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Will and Anurag discuss new releases by Mitski, Subsonic Eye, and Sufjan Stevens, plus a live report, bonus songs, Taylor Swift, and more.

After being battered by two byelections, where could the Tories possibly turn next? That's right more of the same – no wonder the votes of no confidence are pouring into the 1922 committee. PLUS, Speaking of pouring, the water companies are destroying our waterways and running away with huge profits. Why? And how can we fix the system? Prominent Water campaigner Feargal Sharkey joins the panel to discuss all that. And in the extra bit for subscribers the panel answers the question: How do we stop pop music from turning into a sterile heritage industry? “Rishi's Sunak's message that he's now the changed candidate hasn't gone down too well.” – Rachel Cunliffe. “The simple truth is that this country is in pain and we need relief from it.” – Feargal Sharkey. “For me water is a litmus test for the state that the rest of the country is in.” – Feargal Sharkey. “We're completely committing ecocide in our own backyard.” – Feargal Sharkey.

In this episode, David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the soft power of one of the most influential people in the United States right now. It's not a man, it's not even a very old man. It's a 33-year-old woman who seems to have Fox News, Donald Trump and the Republican Party running scared - Taylor Swift.

June Miles-Kingston in conversation with David Eastaugh British singer and drummer, best known for her work with various successful bands and singers in the 1980s.

This week  we talk about "Let's Talk About Girls"! The original was done by Tucson's The Grodes (aka The Tongues of Truth) (1:10). This gem features slinky guitar & organ, deft drumming, and a psychedelic pulse of a bassline. Not to mention Jagger-esque vocals and a fun, fantastic chorus! The most famous version  (due to Nuggets) is by patron Saints of the podcast, The Chocolate Watchband (1:04:46). Huh!  Singer Don Bennett takes the tune out of teen-town and makes an ADULT version (he even talks about women)! Atmospheric psych guitars and ominous sleighbells (!) punctuate this performance. In the new wave era, The Undertones decided to celebrate Derry Girls (1:36:36). This one has a "My Generation" bounce to it and Feargal Sharkey is an Irish singer trying to sound like an American trying to sound like an Englishman trying to sound like an American. The final word falls to The Frowning Clouds, who totally change the arrangement, cut the swagger, cool-ify the already cool chorus, and update the song for the 21st Century  (2:11:14). Hi Manny!!!
